Michelle Obama looked amazing on Inauguration Day as she stepped out wearing a Thom Browne navy checked coat, fuchsia gloves, and black pointy-toe boots. But what really caught our eye was the way she pulled together her entire look with a bejeweled J.Crew belt, making her look that much more polished (if that's even possible!).

We were inspired by the First Lady's style, and found a ton of cool belts that'll change up your entire ensemble as soon as you slip one on.

Since you can't get your hands on Mrs. Obama's exact belt, this one is a close second. Its gray tone allows you to pair it with any color palette—plus, its added embellishments instantly call attention to your waistline, adding elegance.

Clasped over a sleek coat, cocktail dress, or casual shift, this belt makes a statement like no other.
